Why a Dunk Tank Is the Perfect Event Centerpiece
Bounce houses and water slides keep the kids busy, but a dunk tank gets everyone involved. There is something irresistible about the chance to dunk a principal, a pastor, a coach, or the boss. Guests of every age line up for a turn, spectators gather to cheer and heckle, and the anticipation before each throw makes it the most photographed attraction at any event.
One participant sits on the seat at a time, which keeps the action organized and gives every splash its own moment. Throwers ages 8 and up can take their shot at the target, and adults are always welcome on the dunk seat.
The #1 Fundraiser Rental in Middle Tennessee
Dunk tanks are the classic fundraising machine. Charge per throw — or sell throw bundles — and watch the donations pile up as everyone pays for the chance to soak a local celebrity. Schools, churches, sports teams, and community groups across Middle Tennessee use our dunk tank to turn a fun afternoon into real money for their cause.
Our dunk tank is a favorite at:
- School carnivals and field day events — students never get tired of dunking their teachers
- Fundraisers for churches, sports teams, PTOs, and community groups
- Summer birthday bashes and block parties — pair it with a water slide for a full backyard water day
- Company picnics and team-building events — nothing builds morale like dunking the manager
- Festivals, church picnics, and community celebrations across Nashville and Middle TN
What's Included with Your Dunk Tank Rental
- The dunk tank with its bright red target and splash-ready seat
- Softballs and all necessary equipment for throwers
- Delivery, setup, and takedown by our trained crew
- No power needed — the dunk tank is completely self-contained, with no electrical outlet or blower required
Setup Requirements: Easier Than You Think
Dunk tanks are one of the most flexible rentals we offer. Unlike water slides, which need flat grass, our dunk tank can be set up on grass, concrete, asphalt, gravel, or even indoors (yes, some gyms and warehouses host dunk tank events!). Here is all you need:
- A flat setup area with room for the tank plus a throwing lane in front of the target
- A standard garden hose hookup to fill the tank with water before the event starts
- Towels and a change of clothes for your brave volunteers — they are going to need them

Can I set up a dunk tank at a park?

Rules vary by county and city, so check with your park office and give us a call; we are happy to help you sort out the requirements.

Just a flat spot and a standard garden hose to fill the tank. No electricity is required, and the tank sets up on grass, pavement, gravel, or indoors.
Who can use the dunk tank?
Throwers should be ages 8 and up, and adults are welcome on the dunk seat. One participant at a time keeps things safe and organized.
How far in advance should I book?
We ask for at least 24 hours notice, but spring and summer weekends book up fast — we recommend reserving your dunk tank 2 to 3 weeks ahead, especially for school carnival season and holiday weekends.
